This pressure can greatly affect their everyday life and be detrimental to one's mental health. Considering the negligence that the topic of mental health has faced in the past, the time for change is now. An action as small as the education of mental health and mental illness within classrooms can equip students with educated  views and understanding of mental health.]]> 2018-08-16 18:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273572890 mbrode https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273578584 -A U.S. Surgeon General report indicates that one in five children and adolescents will face a significant mental health condition during their school years (Students suffering from these conditions face significant barriers to learning and are less likely to graduate from high school.)
-According to the Coalition to Support Grieving Students, death by suicide is the third leading cause of death in children ages 10–14 and the second leading cause of death in children ages 15–19. Close to one in five high school students has considered suicide, and 2 percent to 6 percent of children attempt suicide. There is a great deal of stigma around suicide, which is why schools must work with
parents, children, school staff, and principals to discuss teen suicide in a careful and effective manner.]]> 2018-08-16 19:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273578584 mbrode https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273580126 -Federal and state governments must provide financial support to enable local communities to implement a
comprehensive culturally and linguistically appropriate school-based mental health program that supports
and fosters the health and development of students.
-Federal and state governments should encourage local communities to focus on schools as the hub for
delivery of mental and other health and social services.]]> 2018-08-16 19:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273580126 mbrode https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273581333 -The New York legislation, which was written in 2015 and enacted on Sunday, directs all K-12 classrooms to get instruction about mental health as part of the overall health curriculum. Virginia’s law, which is set to take effect this fall, is less wide-reaching, requiring mental health education for the first two years of high school.
-NASSP believes, and recent research has confirmed, that school leadership
affects student achievement (second only to instruction, particularly for
at-risk students). ]]> 2018-08-16 19:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273581333 mbrode https://padlet.com/mbrode/62yprc8p7roe/wish/273582428 -Limited capacity to address mental health issues.With increased accountability for academic results under the Elementary and Secondary School Act
(ESEA) and subsequent regulations, school counselors-who represent
the majority of student support professionals in schools-have seen
their responsibilities shift away from the overall personal, social,
emotional, academic, and career development of each student toward an
academic achievement-only focus, creating a rapidly widening gap in support services
-Disinvestment in school-based mental health programs.
-Stigma surrounding mental health issues. This stigma is manifested by bias, distrust, stereotyping, fear, embarrassment, anger, and/or avoidance. Addressing psychosocial and mental health concerns in schools is typically not assigned a high priority, except when a high-visibility event occurs, such as a shooting on
campus, a student suicide, or an increase in bullying.
